Cuba didn't want another foreign country imposing their government over them, which America brought upon them anyways by not granting them full independences and having moderate control over them. Both Spain and America abandon them which left corrupt rebel types in control with no outline of governance or proper constitution. It also granted Native people rebelling against U.S. rules. As time goes on, America is looking at Cuba as an enemy from the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and not an allied country even though they joined a war to help them gain their independence. So basically, America joined a war to make an enemy and intervening into the war they could have avoided. This may have brought a decent amount of gain for them, but countless U.S. lives were lost from it, and created …show more content…
Sounds like a waste of improvement, yet, America is known for intervening into other countries conflicts, like the Great War. To start of the Great War from the U.S. positive perspective, in this statement it says the U.S. joined the battle “When a Germany U-boat sank the British liner on May 7, 1915, killing 1,198, including 128 Americans, President Wilson sent a strong note to berlin. The May 13 warning, Document 1, demands that Germany disavow submarine warfare and respect the rights of Americans to sail on high seas. In January 1917, Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare, and Wilson broke diplomatic relations with Berlin…” (Merrill, Dennis, and Thomas G. Paterson pg. 29). So basically Germany didn’t want to listen or negotiate with Wilson’s offering to arbitrate the dispute. Wilson told congress by stating “The world must be made safe for democracy (Merrill, Dennis, and Thomas G. Paterson pg. 49).” President Wilson had no options but to join the war when Mexico
The Seven Years War transformed North America both politically and socially. The British and its powerful Navy triumphed over the French with the Treaty of Paris mostly in favor of Britain. By 1763, the end of The Seven Years War, the enlightenment had already spread and changed ideas within the colonies. The costly war forced the British to take more control of North America and relieve debt from the war. The Treaty of Paris allowed the British control of almost everything east of the Mississippi. Britain had much control of land and tasked their royal governors to carry out tasks to control and tax the profitable colonies. The navigation Acts were already in place to control taxes on trade, so infractions were overlooked as long as Britain
The U.S. Government was responsible for Little BigHorn. In the Textbook, it describes how the Sioux were the cause of the war and how they brutally slaughtered all of the U.S Troops without mentioning the actions of the U.S. It presumes that the us troops wanted to hide the truth so the America doesn't look bad. This also happens in Document A: J.D Cameron Report. He's gives a report to the president saying that the Indians were attacking the settlers but without a reason. Both texts made it out to be the Sioux at fault. Having this evidence points towards the U.S. Government being at fault for starting the war.
The seven years’ war (French and Indian War in the Colonies) put a financial hard ship on the Europeans and the American Colonies because the war was so expensive. The reason the war transpired in America, and took place due to the British thinking the territories and trades were theirs to control because they wanted it all for themselves. This caused the French to try to put a stop to it so they too could gain wealth from the trades that occurred in the Ohio Valley. “The Ohio Valley was important because it provided fur traders access to cities and ports on the East Coast. This business was very profitable. Another desired territory was the Mississippi River Valley, the entry point to the frontier in the west.” (“The French & Indian War,”
Calderon, Karina B If we put all of this contemporary worry about sovereignty in the context of the year 1608, ten years before the Thirty years War, and then compare what happened in the forty years after that, we see that 1608 was not a year arbitrarily chosen as ten years before the Thirty Years War, but as a year seeing the establishment of the Protestant Union in Germany as a reaction to the reassertion by force (namely, the Holy Roman Emperor) of Catholicism in Bavaria, and also in response to how the Holy Roman Imperial legislative body (the Diet) had asserted that the renewal of the 1555 Peace of Augsburg depended upon Protestant princes restoring land seized decades ago back to the Catholic Church, in a reversal of the peace achieved in 1555 between Lutherans and Catholics in Germanic central Europe ((Wilson 212-214). The failure off the Protestant league to even consolidate Calvinists and Lutherans in Germany, coupled with its territorial fragmentation, was a harbinger of both how powerful anti-Catholic
After following the arguments for and against the United States’ entry into the Great War these past few days, I have come to the support the decision of President Wilson to enter the war. Not only must we fight for democracy and the rights of the people, but the failure of the Allies would result in a huge economic setback for America. For these reasons I believe the entry of the United States into the war is the right call at the present time. However, we are not entering this war purely for unselfish reasons.
While Germany violently rallied against Russia, England and France during the war and Serbia fundamentally caused the “spark,” the Great War was really the fault of almost all of the involved countries in WWI. In document B a propaganda shows the accusations between the countries in Europe: countries point fingers at other countries while one giant hand in the background point at what seems like a dead corpse on a table that has a phrase on it that says: “The peace of Europe.” The propaganda states that the war was not caused by one country, but the decisions and passiveness from all the countries in Europe involved in the war which was all caused by nationalism. Although it may seem the majority of violence and time spent on WWI was all Germany’s
“We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort." 1899, from his book, The Strenuous Life. On December 10,1899 in the treaty of paris the US buys the Philippines for $20 million. Then on July 4th of 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt declares victory in the Philippines. The United States should have annexed the Philippines because the U.S. educated, civilized the Filipinos, the Philippine land brought recourses and economic gain, and the U.S. led the Philippines to a self-government.
Fallowing the Seven Years War, Americas government, economy and society gradually began to evolve. The seven years war was the bloodiest and most widely fought war in the 18th century. Colonies began to develop an independent economy based on internal trade, and this system developed personal relationships which are necessary for building business relationships. The Seven Years War caused a plethora of money to the British and they tried to regain the money by imposing taxes on the American's land goods. The first of these taxes was the Sugar Act in 1763 which taxed every pound of sugar.
The Great War blazed and disturbed Austria, Hungary, Serbia, United States, Ottoman Empire and Japan. Thousands were killed by offensive battle plans like trenches and poisonous gas. Also, in the Total war (home front), governments mobilized civilians war production and extended military service. And the recruiters took men out of their jobs and filled in the gaps with women in the workforce.
To generations, the war which began in August 1914 and ended with the resolutions of autumn 1918 was quite just the Great War. The battle yearned, the last conflict ever between nations. The soldier was far more numerous than ever before; the dead and injured steadily diverse also. The destruction was incredible both on the battlefields and in the general loss of national wealth. All the Great Nations of Europe were involved.
In the end, no one was singing. World War 1 lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. Eventually, armies all across Europe were fighting and resulted in over 10 million deaths. Three underlying causes of World War 1 were alliances, militarism, and imperialism.
Being the President of the United States is a powerful position, but the government was created so the role does not have the final say which is shown by example by President Wilson. He believed that the United States should attempt to stay out of the Great War as long as possible and avoid fighting by creating a link of support for the allied countries. What would later become the open door into America’s entry into war, Wilson gave loans and supplies to other countries on behalf of the nation. On April 6, 1917 America joined in an unwanted war after Germans forced the nations hand. At the end of the war and destruction, Senate wanted to make a bold move and wanted to alter the Treaty of Versailles, to which Wilson fought.
Five nations, three alliances, numerous acts of aggression, and over a century of rising tensions culminated in the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War. Throughout the years leading up the 1750s, societal structure and political influence weighed heavily on the development, maintenance, and purpose of the military. Cycles of conflict and diplomacy between two powerful alliances pitted Prussia and Great Britain against France, Austria, and Russia, and caused the rise and fall of historical figures such as Frederick II of Prussia (“Frederick the Great”) and the internal collapse of France, Prussia, and Austria. During the Seven Years’ War, the “face of battle,” or detailed experiences of the battlefield, transformed in tandem with social evolution
After the deaths of 37,508,686 soldiers by the end of World War I, Europe was a mess. Countries had been dissolved and rearranged, governments had fallen and been replaced, and economies were thriving then crashing, all as a result from World War I. One of the main goals at the end of World War I was to prevent another tragedy like World War I from happening again. Clearly that did not happen, as World War II still happened, causing over 50 million deaths. The repercussions of World War I caused World War II due to radical ideology, bad economic conditions, and nationalism to the point of extremity.
As Cuba had been “ a part “ of the USA for a while , new leader Fidel Castro wanted to be head of Cuba, for one and only reason, to be free of US control, which gave them the choice of either being an ally or an enemy of the US. When the US insisted for an answer from Castro he turned for help from the USSR, making Cuba one of the American enemies. Once Cuba had turned against the US Castro started nationalizing US-owned properties in Cuba, and started working together on different things with the USSR. America also showed that was ready to take drastic measures to take down Castro and Cuba so that there wouldn’t be a communist country so close to the US.
